read this interesting articile "Many researchers believe that jokes come from the unexpected. As humans we have a brain that can try to 'predict the future', for example when catching a fast ball our brains have a simple learned mathematical model of the physics so we can predict where the ball will be and catch it. Similarly in stories we have a feel for where it should be going, and when the story takes an unexpected turn, we often find this funny. The shaggy dog story is an example; it's a long series of parts of a story that build our expectations, only to have the end prove us wrong. We laugh (or groan) when the unexpected twist occurs. It's like the ball suddenly doing three loop-the-loops then stopping in mid-air. It's not what we expect. It's against the rules and we see that as funny. " (from http://www.cs4fn.org) its a pretty good situation to think off when your out in the clubs. |

This is very true. People seem to say that a person is funny when you can't really put your finger on why some guys spend a lot of effort with deliberate jokes, which are funny, but these are not the guys who 'are funny' (in a way that girls like). if you can incorperate this priciple in your stories, YOU will be funny, not your material |

While there are a lot of books and articles about how to be funny, I like Scott Adam's take on it. From his book "The Joy of Work" pg 200: Quote: Some humor experts say the secret to humor is to combine something unexpected with something bad and then make sure it's happening to someone else. But if that's all it took, serial killers would be winning comedy competitions.
Scott then goes on to suggest the "two of six rule" where humor contains two of the six dimensions of humor.The Six Dimensions of Humor are:
